II. The Sacrament of Holy Orders in the Economy of Salvation
1546
Christ, high priest and unique mediator, has made of the Church “a
kingdom, priests for his God and Father.”20 The whole community of
believers is, as such, priestly. the faithful exercise their baptismal
priesthood through their participation, each according to his own vocation, in
Christ’s mission as priest, prophet, and king. Through the sacraments of
Baptism and Confirmation the faithful are “consecrated to be . . . a holy
priesthood.”21
